Why did the recieving drill instructors who met us at the airport started their sh!t at the airport? they.....

Once they make a Marine out of you, you will understand. You are still thinking like a civilian.

BECUASE PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED MANNERS, AND TO GET THIER ASSES SMACKED WITH DISIPLENE!!!!
you should be proud.

because after this you will come out with honor, courage, commitment, and a bit prouder!!

Because basic starts the moment you come in contact with a drill instructor. They've got to break you down before they can build you up. Man! Haven't you ever seen a movie on this?

Because that starts the process of making soldiers out you. Stop crying and get over it.

They started immediately because they knew it was going to take every available moment to get your whining butt squared away. Actually MORE than every available moment, since you're still whining.

And why do you keep recycling these same questions? Slow learner or what?

Because how else do you think they are going to control all of those people? They don't want people running off or not taking them seriously when they tell you no contraband.

That's the way they do it they want to see you humiliated, if you want to opt out just take a swing at one of them, your done right then!

Maybe you should of asked the right questions - BEFORE signing up, ya think?

That's the drill, they want civilians to see their routine, so they will run home and tell anyone who will listen, just how mean and nasty the Marine Corps has become. This is intriguing to young people, and soon it becomes a challenge for them. The next thing you know, they're down at MEPS, signing up !

They do that because it works with the lowest common denominator. Not you necessarily, but the average recruit.

Speaking of recruiting, if there are any prospects at the airport, I imagine they may changed their minds.

I was attached to the the 5th Marines and the whole idea is to break you down, get rid of the civil an way of doing things and begin to make you Marines.

You ain't seen nothing yet, cause when you get to Paris Island, it gets rougher. That is the difference between the Marines, and everyone else. They all do a great job, but Marines are for life, Marines follow orders, Marines will not abandon their posts and Marines stand tall.

Maybe it's because you can almost see MCRD from the airport. Just turn right on Harbor, turn Right on Rosecrans, Right on Leyton past the old NTC gate, and you're there. Seriously, I doubt that they do anything at the airport.

it,s because basic training starts as soon as the bus pulls up
to the reception station and they tell you to get your @#$ off the bus and get in line .

What did you want? A kiss and hug and a pat on your head for getting on the right airplane? Grow up. Your Momma and Dadda isn't there to tuck you in bed now.

joey

you are such a *****-*** Marine. dear God i hope you get out without killing a fellow Marine. embarassing? geeeeez! that should've been that last thing on your mind.

Army family.

If you just started boot - how are you able to get on a computer?
This is normal drill behavior. The first phase is about breaking you down. This is done by yelling at you, embarassing you ... whatever it takes. It is all part of the process. They just want to make you the best you can be and that is just one tool that they have to do it.

I want to know why they drove us around for half an hour when the depot is right next to the damn airport.

Malaika

LOL Because they can!!

HA HA! You're RIGHT!

I remember that too.

Seriously I agree with you. They should not let you see a real DI until you get off the bus. The airport is not appropriate. It should be a pencil pusher or a recruiter at the airport.
